The western end contains a portion of Harlow Wood, while the centre holds a small cluster of farmhouses, agricultural facilities along with a livery yard business and has the highest point in the parish at 155 metres (509 ft).

[4] Lindhurst Wind Farm has 5 turbines providing up to 9MW of power, and at 125 metres (410 ft) in height is visible for several miles around.
